LDP NPC PDP–Laban Lakas–Laban (Laban/LDP faction) The Laban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino () was the umbrella political opposition coalition during the 1998 Philippine general election that led to the election of then Vice President Joseph Estrada as President of the Philippines. It was the largest political party during that time, uniting the major Philippine political parties which included Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, Nationalist People's Coalition and Partido ng Masang Pilipino, along with minor and regional parties.
Estrada won the presidential election against then-House Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr.. Meanwhile, Estrada's running mate Edgardo Angara lost to fellow senator Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of Lakas–NUCD–UMDP.
Shortly after the 1998 elections, the party's name was changed into Lapian ng Masang Pilipino (Organization of the Filipino Masses), as the "struggle" ended with Estrada's victory.
Post-1998 elections
After Estrada seized victory, many Lakas candidates secretly supported him jumped into LAMP, including Lakas Senators Ramon Revilla, Franklin Drilon, and Jun Magsaysay. It also includes former Lakas congressmen such as Las Piñas' Manny Villar, who have been serving as coalition's leader in the House of Representatives, and become its Speaker.
After Estrada being impeached in 2000, House Speaker Villar left LAMP, and being kicked out of speakership. Also, Revilla, Drilon, Magsaysay, Rodolfo Biazon, Nikki Coseteng, and Robert Jaworski left the coalition.

T stands for Torres; P for Pimentel; W for Webb; J for Jaworski; O for Ople; B for Bagatsing; S for Sotto; L for Lagman; A for Aquino-Oreta; B for Biazon; O for Osmeña; R for Romero.
